Trump said it would and only he could save it.

You don’t seem to follow. Trump said the markets would crash if not for him. You seem to think  a crash isn’t possible, you are saying it’s only because of him.

You really are a true moron .

He said it isnt going to happen (his opinion) and didn't attribute it to anyone.  Unless I missed something.  

Are you off your meds?

Under dead man walking Joe Biden the crash was possible. Trump fixed it.

You really are a true dumbass.

Riiiiight.

Don said the same thing in 2020. How did the markets do in the next 4 years?

Why did the markets crash this year and why did they bounce back? Dumbo announces tariff plan, they tank. Dumbo pusses them everyone knows he’s full of shet they then rebound. If they go back on after his made up deadlines they will tank again.

Don said markets would crash if he didn’t win in 2020…wrong, we had a great run

Don announces half-baked, cockamamie plan for tariffs, markets crash

Don “fixes it” by pausing his plans. Markets rebound

You’re welcome, Dummy.

Klimtology, you missed the bottom twice now.  You don't ever get out because there is a very good chance you make the mistake you just did and miss the gains.  If you're dead set on jumping out when you're scared and jumping in when you start feeling better we can't help you. 

Other than that - The percentages you are throwing out are personal for your own risk tolerance, which appears is very low. So yeah, 50 total stock market, or S&P if you want, and 50 fixed income.  I'd DCA in over the next couple months. But then never "get out" again.  The 50 fixed income is supposed to smooth out the ride and keep you from panicking.  Check it twice a year and rebalance if needed, otherwise don't look at it, you don't have the stomach for it.

Agreed.  The markets are going to be go down every time homeboy brings up tariffs, and go back up when he backs off.  Unless you're in his inner circle, why would you try to time Trump's whims. 

I guess you can rely on is this: 

1. Trump is an egomaniac, so he'll want his poll numbers up.  A variable that feeds that is market performance, so you can count on Trump caving wants the crying about tariffs gets loud enough.

2. No matter what Trump does via EOs in regards to tariffs, it'll get immediately undone by the next president regardless of what side wins, so in the long run the market will be up.

Any opportunity to profit off volatility relies on whether Trump wakes up with a hardon for tariffs one day.  The only way to make money is being able to predict his whims.

Sell !!!

Google was one of the few bright spots in my portfolio today. Food shares like ConAgra and Kraft-Heinz continue to crater. My fault for not buying Mondelez instead of bottom fishing those 2 late last year. Live and learn.
